Their schools’ programmes are designed to bring heritage to life for pupils and enable them to engage in active exploration of the world around them. Down County Museum is an ideal venue for a visit by community groups, clubs, and societies. Their permanent exhibition, Down Through Time, explores the history of County of Down from the earliest times to today and provides a comprehensive introduction to the history of the County. Groups can also explore the history of the old Gaol and find out more about crime and punishment in the past. All tours should be pre-booked.
